With rookie Nico Hulkenberg, the drivers covered a total of 471 laps at the 4.428km track over the four days, a total of 2,085kms.

N Rosberg: 1:18.796 (87 / 97) 3rd.
K Nakajima: 1:19.611 (57 / 76) 5th.

Dickie Stanford, Test Team Manager, Williams F1:
"Today was our last day of testing of the year. Between them, Nico Rosberg, Kazuki Nakajima and Nico Hulkenberg managed to complete all the development work on our agenda over the four days and covered 2,085kms. We also had a successful first outing on the slick tyres today. Everyone on the test team has done a great job this year and we thank them for all their hard work over the season."

Kazuki Nakajima:
“It was a good test for us as we tried out many different set-up options. The mileage I’ve covered this week has given me more valuable time in the car in preparation for next year so I am happy.”

Nico Hulkenberg:
“My first experience in a Formula One car was really exciting. I spent the first day just getting used to the car, in particular the speeds and the brakes as they’re quite different to what I’m used to. Having a second day in the cockpit then allowed me to make some good progress with my times and I feel I worked well with the engineers to give some technical feedback. Overall, it was really good fun so thanks to the team for giving me the opportunity.”
